Mississippi Abortion Clinic Seeks Block on Hospital-Tie Law
This article is for subscribers only.
Mississippi’s only abortion clinic told a federal court that it can’t comply with a state law requiring its doctors to have hospital admitting privileges because local facilities won’t grant its requests.
Making a renewed bid for an order blocking the law, the clinic said its physicians had been summarily rejected from having a relationship with any hospitals in the area. The law, initially set to take effect July 1, requires physicians associated with an abortion facility also to be certified or eligible in obstetrics and gynecology.
